There are some daily life instances that every Indian can relate to but no outsider can even understand. Here are 10 such situations brilliantly put up by the Instagram account brownpaperbagcomics. You won’t be able to move to the next one without saying “that’s me” in your head every time.
Whether you’re a guy or a girl, this happens with every youngster in this country. Nobody knows the logic behind it but somehow talking to a friend of the same gender past midnight is completely acceptable but talking to someone from the opposite gender isn’t.
Forced conversations, brutal birthday bums and pocket-drenching birthday parties – where is the good part here? But somehow we end up doing this same thing every year.
Apparels may come and go out of fashion, but our double standards will never fade away. Aunties comment on young girls’ crop tops while they proudly roam around in belly-exposing sarees. This witty and sarcastic comic is apt to describe our behaviour.
With every passing day, we are getting more and more famous for pursuing our dreams after we finish our engineering. If there’s any question we need to ask ourselves, it’s about knowing why our country is so obsessed with Engineering degree. So many dreams have died a silent death because of this.
We are not sure why mommies do it but for some arbitrary reason, they always relate all flaws and mishaps with our tech-habits. Everything that goes wrong in the world is somehow related to us using our computers and laptops.
What would this country be without superstitions, right? This hilariously witty comic takes a dig on all such superstitions that need to be scraped off from our daily lives.
Nobody in the family is as important as the maid of that house. If she doesn’t come even for a day, the home atmosphere becomes such that it feels like someone has died. So when someone is that important, how can you go on a date when you know they’re going to come, right?
Indian media can get very funny sometimes. And stupid too. Sensational news has become a fever in the industry that is just not wearing off. Unimportant activities of celebrities are being given unduly coverage while leaving out issues of national importance.
It is completely okay if your dad swears at home, but it becomes a war zone if you utter even the most basic level of slang. In Indian society, abusing is a luxury only dads are allowed to enjoy.
Deny it all you want, we’re all a little hypocritical at heart. We go around shouting slogans of freedom and liberation, and then act as the oppressors ourselves in personal lives.
